About That Bachelorette Contestant's Epic Tie Fail

The new season of The Bachelorette kicked off last night, and as you'd expect, it was a s#!tshow of bro-tastic one-upmanship. And from a style perspective, going in our hopes were anything but high. After all, the first look we got of this season's contestants left a lot to be desired. Well, the premiere proved that we shouldn't get our hopes up. First of all, there was a man in a kilt.

Then, Aaron Rodgers' brother (yep, that Aaron Rodgers) showed off some extremely tight jeans during his backstory montage. Cover up Jordan's upper half in this photo and you might wonder if you're looking at Jordan or JoJo's lower extremities. There are jeans and then there are man leggings—know the difference.

Still, Jordan's suit game at the actual house was good (save for a weirdly folded pocket square), and his haircut is the type of thing we'd ask our barbers to replicate. But the most egregious style fail of the evening came from Daniel, 31 and self-proclaimed "Canadian." (He is from Vancouver, but does one's birth country count as a job?) As these first night cocktail parties tend to go, Daniel got incredibly lit as the night went on and started poking dudes in their belly buttons. Because in addition to being Canadian, he is a three-year old child. Then Daniel removed his jacket, revealing a tie that was a good seven inches too short.

We know this is wrong, you know this is wrong, but Daniel is apparently the only grown man alive who doesn't know about where a tie should hit (hint: not just below your nipple line). To spare himself further style shaming, Daniel decided to do the one thing that and good muscled-up drunk bro should do in these situations: strip down to his underwear and dive into a pool. How this dude is still on the show is a producer set-up total mystery.

Then again, Daniel is sure to keep sparking things up as the season goes on. And there's definitely going to be more than enough drama on the style front to keep us locked in for the entire season.
